I can confirm it also happened on my Bluefin that rebased to `:latest` (with Fedora 40).

Well, my initial problem was that `libvirt` didn’t have permissions to create a log on `/var/log/libvirt`, and after fixing that, the `swtpm` error appeared.

I had to use these commands to fix the permissions for SELinux when trying to use VMM (or any virtual machine at all).

```
sudo restorecon -rv /var/log/libvirt/
systemctl restart swtpm-workaround.service

```

The `swtpm-workaround.service` was enabled and running, but for some reason the problem persisted until I restarted it with `restart`.
